Braid Series 3: How to do a dutch braid

The finished product
My third braid is extremely similar to the French braid; one could even say it's just an upside down version (it is). This is just a quick know-how on how to do this beautiful 3D braid.
  1. Gather three small sections of hair at the top of your hairline and get in position to do a normal braid.
  2. Instead of your usual right-over-middle, left-over-middle routine, cross the right strand under the center and cross the left strand under the new center.
  3. Add a small piece of hair to the new right strand before crossing it under this time, and do the same for the left.
  4. Repeat step 3 until you have no more hair to add, then finish the upside-down braid, pulling it over your shoulder to make it easier when it gets long enough. Remember: you're crossing the strands under, not over.
  5. When you're done, secure with an elastic and wrap a small piece of hair around to hide it.

Enjoy!
